2025 Dodge RAM 1500 has hit the roads, and it’s ready to rule as the King of the Hills! This full-size pickup truck blends power, style, and cutting-edge tech, making it a top choice for truck lovers. Whether you’re hauling heavy loads or cruising through rough terrains, the new RAM 1500 promises an exciting ride.
Pricing: Affordable Power
The 2025 RAM 1500 starts at a base price of $40,275, making it competitive with rivals like the Ford F-150 and Chevy Silverado 1500. The range-topping Tungsten trim, loaded with luxury, kicks off at around $89,170. Depending on the trim and options, you might pay $2,500 to $7,000 less than the MSRP, according to Kelley Blue Book’s Fair Purchase Price. For those eyeing a deal, special APR offers like 1.9% for 72 months are available at select dealers until September 30, 2025.
Engine Options: Power Meets Efficiency
The 2025 RAM 1500 says goodbye to the V8, introducing a twin-turbocharged 3.0L Hurricane inline-six engine in two flavors. The standard version pumps out 420 horsepower and 469 lb-ft of torque, while the high-output version delivers a jaw-dropping 540 horsepower and 521 lb-ft of torque. For budget buyers, a 3.6L V6 with a mild-hybrid system offers 305 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque. All engines pair with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission, ensuring power and decent fuel economy—up to 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
Off-Road King: The RHO Trim
The RAM 1500 RHO is the star for off-road fans, replacing the legendary TRX. Powered by the high-output Hurricane engine, it boasts 540 horsepower, hitting 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds. With 35-inch off-road tires, Bilstein shocks, and nine drive modes (like Mud/Sand, Rock, and Baja), it’s built to conquer any terrain. Features like LED headlamps, dual exhausts, and two front tow hooks make it a beast on trails. The RHO’s aggressive grille and rugged stance scream performance.
Luxury and Tech: A Class Apart
Inside, the 2025 RAM 1500 is a tech haven. The base model sports a 12-inch touchscreen, while higher trims offer a massive 14.5-inch display—the largest in its class. A 10.3-inch passenger-side screen is optional, perfect for navigation or entertainment. The Tungsten trim pampers with quilted-leather seats, massaging front seats, and a 23-speaker Klipsch stereo. Safety features include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and partial self-driving tech. The Uconnect system ensures seamless smartphone integration.
Towing and Payload
The RAM 1500 handles up to 11,580 pounds of towing and a 2,370-pound payload, though it trails competitors like the Ford F-150 (13,500 pounds towing). For more towing power, consider the Ramcharger plug-in hybrid, which pulls up to 14,000 pounds. The truck’s coil spring suspension delivers a smooth ride, unlike the leaf springs in rival trucks.
